Lord Triesman: I refer to the reply I gave the noble Lord on 24 October (Official Report, col. WA 149). It is too early to say when the chapel repairs will be completed. We will discuss subsequent reopening of the chapel, with the bishop of Gibraltar in Europe and the Church Council in Istanbul.

Lord Warner: The information requested is not available; however the following table sets out the number of blood transfusions for patients suffering from cancer treatment-induced anaemia in each of the past five years.
	The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recently published draft recommendations on the use of erythropoietin. Following consultation on these recommendations NICE is preparing final guidance, which is expected to be published in May 2006.

	Notes:
	Finished Consultant Episode (FCE)
	An FCE is defined as a period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. Please note that the figures do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one episode of care within the year.
	Diagnosis (Primary Diagnosis)
	The primary diagnosis is the first of up to 14 (seven prior to 2002–03) diagnosis fields in the hospital episode statistics (HES) data set and provides the main reason why the patient was in hospital.
	Secondary Diagnoses
	As well as the primary diagnosis, there are up to 13 (six prior to 2002–03) secondary diagnosis fields in hospital episode statistics (HES) that show other diagnoses relevant to the episode of care.
	Main Operation
	The main operation is the first recorded operation in the HES data set and is usually the most resource-intensive procedure performed during the episode. It is appropriate to use main operation when looking at admission details, such as time waited, but the figures for "all operations count of episodes" give a more complete count of episodes with an operation.
	*Blood transfusion for anaemia induced by treatment for cancer is defined as follows:
	D61.1 Drug-induced aplastic anaemia in primary diagnosis field with one of the following codes in any of the secondary diagnosis fields
	Y42.5 Other estrogens and progestogens
	Y42.7 Androgens and anabolic congeners
	Y43.2 Antineoplastic natural products
	Y43.3 Other antineoplastic drugs
	Or
	D61.2 Aplastic anaemia due to other external agents in primary diagnosis field with Y84.2 Radiological procedure and radiotherapy in any of the secondary diagnosis fields in any of the secondary diagnosis fields
	And
	one of the following OPCS-4 codes recorded in the main operative procedure field:
	X33.1 Intraarterial blood transfusion
	X33.2 Intravenous blood transfusion of packed cells
	X33.3 Intravenous blood transfusion of platelets
	X33.8 Other specified other blood transfusion
	X33.9 Unspecified blood transfusion
	Grossing
	Figures are grossed for both coverage and missing/invalid clinical data, except for 2003–04, which is not yet adjusted for shortfalls.

Lord Davies of Oldham: The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has made no such assessment. The Museums, Libraries and Archives Council have commissioned a study into trust status, as part of implementing recommendation 8 of the Goodison Review: Securing the Best for our Museums. The study will include discussions with local authorities with experience of museums moving from, or into, independent trust status.

Lord Triesman: Along with other members of the international community, we have been working very hard with President Mkapa, Presidential candidate Kikwete, President Karume and all concerned, to put their personal authority behind a process that would result in a free and fair election on 30 October. I visited Zanzibar in June and made clear to President Karume and the opposition that a peaceful and successful electoral process was central to Zanzibar's future stability and prosperity.
	I wrote to President Mkapa on 24 October setting out my concerns regarding recent reports of violence and intimidation on Zanzibar. As presidency of the EU, the UK has most recently made representations to the Tanzanian Government, regarding the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has asked Chris Mullin MP, former Minister for Africa, to go to Zanzibar and observe proceedings as its special envoy.
